Which is fine by me.

That is not a syntax one commonly expects to see in rc.conf.d/*

safe_eval is used it sitations where we are paranoid,
normally only wanting to read *verified* input, but there are exceptions
to every rule, and the goal of safe_set is to ensure nothing wicked gets
eval'd.  So I don't mind rejecting :foo=bar
